Chelsea likely to keep Poch next season as documentary inspires Boehly (reliability: 5 stars)

Ben Jacobs reports that Mauricio Pochettino is likely to remain Chelsea’s head coach next season.

A review of the Argentine’s performance will take place after the end of the current campaign, where a decision on his future will be made.

Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali, along with other decision-makers at the club, will analyse the data such as big chances created and expected points.

These stats indicate Chelsea should have fared better than they have so far, suggesting that the manager is not the reason why the Blues have underperformed.

Jacobs says that the Chelsea co-owners saw Arsenal’s All or Nothing documentary. It follows the Gunners through their 2021/22 campaign. Boehly and Eghbali really loved Mikel Arteta’s character arc: going from an unpopular figure among the fans in his first full season (2020/21) to someone most Gooners appreciate and get behind.

They believe a similar story is possible with Poch.
